Repairing the impaired.

The Texas Physician Health Program helps impaired physicians, physician assistants, acupuncturists, and surgical assistants get treatment for their problems through a monitored recovery program. The program accepts self-referrals or referrals from an individual, a physician health and rehabilitation committee, a physician assistant organization, a state physician health program, a state acupuncture program, any hospital or hospital system licensed in Texas, a residency program, the Texas Medical Board, the physician assistant board, or the acupuncture board.
